Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot praised both versions for their graphics and wrote that the game "captures the look and feel of those popular little cars and manages to deliver a surprisingly excellent gaming experience along the way. ![]() Nothing in Hot Wheels raises it above the level of average." Buchanan felt that the Hot Wheels license was the only difference separating the game from other racing games. Levi Buchanan of GameFan praised the Nintendo 64 version for its "Good bands", but criticized the game itself as "Mediocre": "The game must have so few merits, that they need a professional soundtrack to add a bullet point to the list of features on the back of the box. They often reminded me of something that had escaped from a Tim Burton movie with the prodigious usage of stripes and cheerful colors." It's noticeable because of the limited, muffled sound, the lackluster graphics, and the lack of a four-player mode." Joe Ottoson of AllGame wrote a positive review of the PlayStation version and praised its soundtrack, although he noted that the sound effects "aren't quite as high budget, but the screeching tires and colliding cars provide a convincing supplement to the action." Ottoson wrote that the game's vehicles "resemble their real-life counterparts and the game speeds along without any slowdown", while also stating that its race tracks "seem to stick with the toy stunt track origins of the subject matter by using an array of vibrant colors on the backgrounds.

Scott McCall of AllGame called the Nintendo 64 version "somewhat fun and original to play", but criticized its "average" sound effects and "very limited and repetitive" songs, which he felt were of poor quality. ĭoug Trueman of NextGen said that the Nintendo 64 version was "All in all, a fun title and a great party game, but perhaps a bit childish for hardcore racing fans." Hot Wheels Turbo Racing received above-average reviews on both platforms according to video game review aggregator GameRankings. ![]()
